Is linksys smartwifi down?

I have been trying to get on Linksys smartwifi today and can't seem to get it to work. I keep getting "This page can’t be displayed"
I have tried different search engines with the same result. If this subject has already been covered can someone please refer me to the thread.
Thank you

Solved!
Go to Solution.

No, I am syill unable to access Linksys smartwifi. I get either "The web address you entered could not be found" or "This page can’t be displayed" depending on which search engine I use.
Is there something I can try?

Linksys SmartWifi - How to remove a device from the account

I had a EA6500 and a E4200 in the same house, both running the Linksys SmartWifi firmware. Both devices show up when I login to the SmartWifi admin page. I no longer own the EA6500 but the device still shows up in my device list when I login to the E4200. I'd like to understand what i need to do to remove the EA6500 from the SmartWifi device registration while still keeping access to my E4200.

There is probably a way, but why bother? It does not hurt anything.

Linksys ea3500 dropping wireless connection

Hello,
I have a very frustrating problem. I am using a brand new Linksys EA3500. We have 2 laptops connecting to it. One is an older XP machine which never has any problem. The other, a Vista machine, periodically drops the connection to the internet when connecting wirelessly. It never loses the connection to the Linksys EA3500 router, it just says "Access: local" and there is no internet. If I plug the Vista machine in wired to the router it works fine. I've tried my old router and I don't get this problem, which leads me to believe that my wireless adapter is functioning properly on the Vista machine.
When the vista machine drops the internet, I can still get into the router configuration at 192.168.1.1, but when I click on the tab which says wireless it sometimes says: "Router not found. You are not connected to your router." It says this despite the fact that I am connected to the router???
I've tried reinstalling Windows, that didn't make any difference. I am convinced that it is a problem with the router, but I can't find any settings to adjust which remedy the situation. Of coarse, I've tried reseting my modem and Router many times...doesn't resolve the issue. I've also gone into DOS and done an ipconfig release_all and renew_all.
I work in IT and I understand the basics of TCP/IP and DHCP. When I connect wired with the vista laptop my ip is 192.168.1.112, when wireless it is 192.168.1.142. Please advise.
Thank you

Are you using the classic firmware or the linksys smartwifi? If the other laptop is working fine, I would say that the router is working fine. But to make sure that everything all things are covered, try to change the wireless settings of the router as well as update the adapter on the laptop that’s experiencing the problem. For the wireless settings of the router, you may try: channel width: 20MHz only; channel: 1, 3, 6, or 9; security: wpa2 personal.

I have a complex home network. ipads, ipods, iphones, htc phones, laptops, xboxs, playstations, QNAP NAS, Officejet printers, Sony TV, Blu-ray, SKY+ HD and whatever else we can find.
I wanted to replace my BT HomeHub3 with something that gave me greater flexibility in terms of QoS and parental controls, amongst other requirements.
I swapped the hub out and replaced. It seemed to go well. I'd had a dry run previously during a 'work from home day' just to make sure I'd covered everything.
It worked well. The router hummed. I had a draytek vigor 120 as my ADSL2+ modem.
Via the old linksys interface, I configured my settings. Everything seemed to work.
And then... I was invited to upgrade to Linksys SmartWifi. This was my Matrix moment. I wished I'd taken the Blue pill.
I lost my access control settings. The router no longer sees devices on the network (especially the wired ones!) My Sky+ OnDemand stopped working. And so the tail of woe goes on. My house reverted to stone age days! Teenagers had to talk to each other as skype, email and iMessaging didn't work.
The router itself is quite good. Nothing brilliant, but good. One or two other reviews mention the upgrade. Heed their wise words! I did not. I've put the HomeHub back again and eaten humble pie. I will look at reverting the ea4500 sometime, but I am feeling scarred by the experience.
Cisco if you need to know what is needed from this product, just call/email. I'm happy to help, but based on my expectations and experience I cannot recommend this product. I may revisit this product and Linksys/Cisco's SmartWifi/cloud router config in a few months or so. It seems like a clever idea, but sadly 'Not yet'

For cases like not being able to access the router settings after upgrading to the Smart Wifi software can be resolved by doing a reset on the router. It is perfectly okay to take the router back to defaults as a way for it to use the new firmware properly. I found a very helpful article for your reference from Cisco’s KB site resolving common issues encountered in using the Smart Wifi Account:http://homekb.cisco.com/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=95804c8b5ad340b5bbee9643399881a0_Resolving_common....

Uninstall/connection problem

hi, we have a wirelss router G wrt54gs and a wirelss b notebook adapter for the lap top. a short time ago while using lap top linksys shut down and wouldnt re-open , kept saying it didnt exist, i find that odd from surfing ok to nothing on a few mins.i tried to un-install linksys so i could reinstall.control panel told me it had been uninstalled but it was still showing , when i put the disc in it wouldnt auto run so i went in through my comp , clicked set up and it told me it couldnt install as something was already installed, its just taking me round in circles...with a bit of advice i searched the files /folders and eventually got a connection, problem is now i dont have the status page which shows when your connected and what network. im at a loss now and really need some help on how to get the whole lot out so i can re install , how to get this status page back, and now it drops its connection every few mins.and to top it all im not exactly sure if and when it is connected if it is secure...

go to start -> programs -> linksys wireless-b notebook adapter and click uninstall
if no luck, from here as well....seems that the program has gone into the registry of the laptop and u need a registry cleaner program to get it uninstalled properly....

EA6900 Router Time incorrect

Hi,
I get the following in linksys smartwifi, showing that the router time is way off:
Current Router Time:
Monday, 23 March 2015 13:38:22 (GMT +01:00)
Current Browser Time:
Sunday, 05 April 2015 11:28:43 (GMT +02:00)
(don't mind the GMT+1 and +2 difference, that is because DST was not active on 23/03).
The difference was something around 5 hours until I rebooted the router. Now it is 13 days...
The problem is that there is NO option to set the time, or even an option to manually trigger a sync. I have tried to reinstall the firmware, which is the solution from the thread http://community.linksys.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/WRT-1900ac-Router-Time-Inaccurate/m-p/930840 , to no avail.
What I actually want to do is use the parental controls, but I cannot do that unless the router time is correct.
Please help!

Also, look in the logs for a cnnection that goes to 'ntp' which is how it gets the time settings.

Disabling SSID broadcast sets NAT to strict for XBOX 360, even if wired to WRT160N

I don't know if this is true with all routers, but with my WRT160N, I found that disabling SSID broadcast causes NAT to go into STRICT mode, and there's no way to get back to OPEN (port forwarding, DMZ, etc, unless you enable it.) Unfortunately I had just upgraded my firmware, which sent me and the Linksys tech down the wrong path. The bummer is that XBOX is wired to my router, so not sure why this would've been affected. Hopefully this helps, since I've seen several **bleep**!?! threads around this. I just happened to stumble across this after my NAT opened up when I reset my router to factory settings. Stepped through the changes I had made from default, and wallah, it was the the stupid disabled SSID broadcasting.
Message Edited by daveyhatton on 01-26-2010 01:42 PM

You are wasting more "cycles" if you disable the broadcast because your wireless devices have to actively search your network instead of simply listening to the list of broadcast SSIDs and connect to the correct one.
If "normal folk" want to crack your network they will quickly give up if they do it manually (assuming you have a strong WPA2 passphrase set on your router). Those few attempts won't cause you problems. Your router and wireless network will far more affected by other wireless networks and interference then some failing connection attempts.
Of course, I assume here that you have changed the SSID from "linksys" to something unique. If you still use "linksys" you will probably see quite a few failing connection attempts, not intentionally but because some people had their computer configured to connect to "linksys" before and still use it or did not remove it from their list of preferred networks. And if it is still "linksys" hiding the SSID won't make a change here, too...
They provide the option because that's what people want to see and buy. It does not matter whether it is really useful or not. Marketing says you can "hide" your router and people believe it. If you take the first computer at hand and look for networks the normal way it won't list it. Great, people believe it's "invisible". Sells good. Just like people need firewalls to "stealth" their computers in the internet which neither hides their computer not makes it any more secure...
As long as marketing does not mention that a simple network sniffer will immediately show the existence of the router and very soon will also reveal the SSID... It wouldn't sell so good anymore...
Of course, the setting should not affect port forwarding and your "NAT" level. Could be a firmware bug in the WRT160N.

Airport Extreme & Internet Connectivity - Motorola SB6120/ Comcast Cable

I recently (June 14th, 2010) purchased an Airport Extreme.
I'm having troubles with intermittent drops of internet connectivity.
The router is connected wan side to a Motorola surfboard 6120, and from there to Comcast cable service. Wired LAN side, I have the router connected to another switch. I also use the wireless for my iPad.
When started, the router works just fine. But in ~ an hour it seems to drop the internet connection, or at least stops routing out to the net. There is no LED indication on the front panel that anything is wrong (on both the airport or the modem). And in the Airport Utility, it still lists my public IP etc etc... and there seems (to me) to be nothing enlightening in the stats and logs screen.
Once back on my old router (Linksys), there is no interruption in internet connectivity. So, I'm fairly confident this is the apple router misbehaving.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the discussion area, jbuffat!
+When started, the router works just fine. But in ~ an hour it seems to drop the internet connection, or at least stops routing out to the net.+
This is a classic symptom of some sort of wireless interference that is affecting the Apple router. It's not unusual at all for one manufacturer's router to work well and another have problems in a given location. I've had the exact reverse of your issue with the Apple router working great, but Linksys slowing down and losing connections.
The culprit is most likely a nearby cordless phone, either yours or even a neighbors. If you have cordless phones there, try turning them off for a few hours to see if the problems continue. If they don't, you have your answer.
A nearby wireless network at the neighbors could certainly be causing problems as well as a new security system nearby.
Without trying to be scientific about this, the easiest probable solution is to start changing the wireless channel on your AirPort Extreme to see if you can find some clear airspace. Keep experimenting until you find a good channel or run out of channels.

Linksys E3000 keeps slowing down to snail speeds

Hello. I'm posting this because I'm tired of resetting my router. Every so often my e3000 will like forget its supposed to supply bandwidth. What I mean is that I pay for 7mbps down .5mbps up cable broadband and when the router is working fine I always get really close or over that. When it forgets what its supposed to be doing I get a painful .15mbps~1mbps down/up (usually under dial up tho) I check the modem and all values are running a full speed with good voltages, SNR's, and frequencies. It doesn't seem to matter if I change any values in the router after the issue starts. I need to do a reset either through the firmware "factory defaults" or the red reset button. Then everything goes back to working but I'm seriously getting tired of resetting my router every week or more. Restoring settings also causes it to go into crawl mode. This effects wifi and wired connections. Its also been upgraded to the latest firmware version from linksys. Any help on this would be great and don't be afraid to talk tech, I'm quite savvy. Thanks!

There are many reasons why you experience slow speed or connection. Well, there are few things you should keep in mind with regards to N routers:
•    Wireless Channel
The default setting for most Linksys Gateway is either Auto or Channel 6-2.437 GHz.
QUICK TIP: For Wireless-N Dual Band-Routers/ Gateway, it is best to use 20 MHz when in a 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz populated area to avoid wireless interference. For less crowded networks, you can use 40 MHz on a 5 GHz. If you’re unsure, you may leave channel width at Auto. This will automatically adjust the settings to 20 or 40 MHz, depending on which best fits your network.
If you are selecting the 5 GHz wireless network, ensure that your wireless devices and adapters have a 5 GHz capability for selectable dual-band. Otherwise, do not change the frequency of your router.
•    Wireless Security
It is the encryption method used to protect a wireless network from intruders. For best wireless-N performance, encrypt your router with WPA2-AES.
After configuring your Gateway with these settings, make sure that all wireless devices are in sync with the Gateway‘s wireless configuration. Also, place the wireless Gateway on an elevated spot and away from other devices that may cause interference.
•    Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a wireless Quality of Service feature that improves quality for audio, video, and voice applications by prioritizing wireless traffic. If you have other devices on your network that support WMM then only select Enabled.
•    Make sure the drivers for the Wireless Card for the computers should be updated as well..

Linksys Wireless Router Slowing Down Internet

Hi, I currently have Optimum Online boost through cablevision. I noticed I wasn't getting speeds anywhere near what Optimum stated my plan includes so I called them up. After troubleshooting they asked me to connect the cable modem directly into my laptop(bypassing the router) and run a speed test and then do the same speed test when accessing internet over the wireless router. The results of this showed that the wireless router was significantly slowing down my internet connection. I currently have a Linksys WRT54G V6 with firmware: v1.00.7, Feb. 16, 2006. Anyone have any ideas what in the router is slowing me down. FYI I am very close to the wireless router(excellent connection) with no interference around(my laptop and a dekstop are the only thing connected to the router) and I have tested this on multiple laptops wirelessly and it all shows that something in the router is slowing this down. MAC Filtering is disabled and the encryption is WPA - Personal AES-CCMP. Thanks! Hope someone can help. ppc

Long, isn't it?

Seems like my linksys e1200 router slowed down my iMac.

is it the kind of router i have that doesn't talk to apples? someone mentioned that was a possibility, but i have no idea. i don't mean our wireless connection was slow, but the actual desktop computer. (sorry, i'm not very techy!, i'm not even sure i'm posting this question correctly).

A router can slow down any computer if it is not securely connected to the internet, or if too many machines are using it. A router can also slow down any computer if its firmware is not known to be compatible with the computer's installed operating system. Check with Linksys to ensure that the later is not an issue. Is this a wired or wireless router?

Trying to install my new Linksys E1500 Start up saying I have to have 10.6.1 System I have 10.7.2 Do I have to down grade?

I am trying to let up my new Linksys E1500, but the startup keeps saying I have to have oprating system 10.4.9 or 10.5.8 or 10.6.1
I am running 10.7.2 now
Do I have to change down?

Linksys WRVS4400N V1.1.13 slows down Internet speed by 50%

Hi,
Recently I upgraded my Internet speed at the ISP from 10Mbps to 25Mbps and the problem is that I am measuring only 15Mbps using speedtest.net.
On the day when the tech came out to install the new DSL modem, he noticed the difference and as part of troubleshooting, he bypassed the Linksys router and voila the net speed measured 25Mbps using speedtest.net.
So, why my Linksys WRVS4400N V1.1.13 acts like a bottleneck in this case? I didn't have this problem at the speed of 10Mbps. The upload speed is OK, it is 5Mbs with or without the DSL modem.
Does someone have any idea how to troubleshoot this problem?

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the tipp on disabling the IPS, I did it and the speedtest.net test resulted in 21Mbps.
So, it is already a great improvement.
It is interesting though, that on the IPS page of the router, all four protocols were disabled (http, ftp, telnet and rpc), so I am not sure if it was doing anything useful anyway. Am I right?
Since the tech from my ISP was using speedtest.net for testing and did get 25Mbps, I figured that it should work for me too. I am not sure if our ISP has a website for the same purpose.
In order to eliminate any bugs I was considering upgrading the firmware on my router, but I am not sure which firmware I should use, it seems to me that there are two sets of firmwares available for my router one with VPN version 1.xx the other one is VPN ver. 2.xxx
The model# of my router is WRVS4400N v1.1 but I am not sure whether to upgrade to one or the other VPN version is up to me or the VPN version range is already set in my router and I cannot upgrade to 2 from 1 in case I have VPN v1. (How can I tell which version of VPN I have on my router?)
8 hours later I added this text:
I did another test on speedtest.net and at this time I got 24.35Mbps, so you were right, speedtest.net won't give you a reliable speed value if you just run it once and you want to make a decision based on that. (Btw., I contacted our ISP, they don't have a net speed measuring website within their own network.)
So, I am done with the speed problem thanks to your right on target suggestion, but could you please, answer my other two questions:
- Was the IPS in my router doing anything usefull to me since all 4 protocolls were disabled - until now?
- About the firmware dilemma.
Thanks.

Is there max number of switches I can connect to Linksys SD2008? Slow down issues...

I have a SD2008 main 8-port switch. Connected to this, I have THREE 5-port switches from DLINK, each on its own SD2008 port.
1) My DSL provides 10 Mbps maximum.
2) On two of the DLINK switches, I can get 10 Mbps with speedtest.net
3) On third switch (connected last in time), I can only get about 2 Mbps.
4) If I disconnect one of the other two switches, the 3rd slow one now is 10 Mbps.
It seems like there can only be 2 switches connected to the SD2008. Is this true?
If so - is there a new model of switch that I can connect 3 switches to (two 5 ports and one 8 port).

How to hook up a Linksys WRT54G to Motorola NVG589. PLEASE HELP!

Hello, I have recently switched over to AT&T Uverse and I am loving it. One thing I miss is having extra ethernet ports to plug in my desktop computer and my Xbox 360. When the Uverse technician came in, he installed a Motorola NVG589 modem that also has a built in wireless router. He also installed a VAP2500 as a receiver for 2 wireless TV boxes. The VAP2500 plugs into the back of the Motorola NVG589. 3 other TV boxes are plugged into the back as well. My dilemma is the fact that all of the ports are being taken up. I need at least 2 more ethernet ports free so I can hook up my Xbox 360 (my model doesn't have built in wifi) and my desktop computer as well. I told the technician this when he installed the system and he told me to go on ebay and buy 2 cheap splitters and split 2 TV boxes that are coming into the NVG589. I did so. It didn't work out. I called up AT&T and the guy over the phone said that was the worst thing I could've done. He told be I should buy an ethernet switch. I had my Linksys WRT54G (Version 6) router laying around at the time and realized that it had a built in ethernet switch. I want to get this to also function as another Wifi hotspot because I have an old PowerMac G4 downstairs that won't connect to the NVG589 for some reason (it says connection timeout). I am guessing that the wifi card in the system may be too old to connect to the modern NVG589. So, I need the 2 extra ethernet ports and another Wifi hotspot from this setup. I have tried multiple things to get this to work. The closest way I could get it to work was when I plugged an ethernet cable from the LAN port on the WRT54G to port on the back of the NVG589. I then plugged the TV box ethernet cable I had to disconnect into the second LAN port on the WRT54G as well as plugging my Xbox 360 into the 3rd LAN port and my computer into the 4th LAN port. This worked great for the TV box and the Xbox 360. However, the computer's ethernet connection ran very slow and the WIfi from the WRT54G was very slow as well. The Wifi from the NVG589 was slow too. I unhooked that setup and put it back to what it was beforehand. Is there anyone that knows of a flawless way of setting this up? Any articles someone can link me to? I've heard of bridging the NVG589...would that help me? How exactly would I do that? Please HELP. I have attached pics. On the back of the NVG589 - green ethernet is the DSL cable, both white ethernet cables along with the black one are TV boxes and the yellow ethernet cable is the VAP 2500. Thanks!

Ya, the install tech must have been sleeping or texting or something during training.... or it's possible he misunderstood you and thought your were talking about needing extra phone ports, which could be accomplished with simple splitters. You were almost where you needed to be with your setup, you just missed some steps. Connect your wired computer only to one of the Linksys' LAN port. With the Linksys powered up press and hold the reset button for 15 seconds (will need toothpick or unfolded paperclip). This will perform a "factory" reset. When the Linksys is fully rebooted, log in to the Linksys. Do not configure the "Internet Connection Type" on the Linksys. Navigate to the "Wireless" section on the Linksys and configure the wireless. Do not use the same SSID (wireless network name) that the NVG589 uses. Save changes. Navigate to the "LAN" configuration on the Linksys and set the routers address to 192.168.1.1 and disable the DHCP Server. Save changes. This step will kick you out of the router. Power down your computer and the Linksys, run an Ethernet cable from a LAN port on the NVG589 to a LAN port on the Linksys, then power up the Linksys, and when it's fully rebooted, power up your computer. You should be good to go at this point. You will want to individually configure your wireless devices to use either the wireless network from the NVG or the wireless network from the Linksys. Otherwise they make keep jumping back and forth between the two, which will degrade performance for that device. You may still notice a slight to moderate performance drop for the wireless on both the NVG and the Linksys because they will be competing for the same wireless airspace along with the VAP2500.
How can you be in two places at once, when your not anywhere at all?
